Erin Burnett of CNN put Julian Assange "Out Front" for an 11-minute interview Nov. 28, and the shouting match that concluded the segment had very little to do with the subject of the interview.

Burnett attempts to prompt Assange on the fact that Ecuador, the country harboring him, allegedly cracks down on and silences journalists. She tried to draw out Assange's hidden hypocrisy, but it didn't work too well.

Instead, Assange focused on how American policy regarding the Espionage Act, whistle blowers, and state surveillance of citizens, has global effects, whereas Ecuadorean policy is not nearly as far reaching.
